Travelogue: Bangkok Bound (Day 2) (12th March) Part 2
Welcome to my blog (: Here comes to update my second day part 2 of my BKK trip.
As it was mentioned on previous post that we had a tough journey on the way back to the hotel from Dreamworld. By the time when we arrived, it was already 6pm and we had to rush to wash up before we left for our dinner. Boyfriend and I were a little upset that we didn't have any Tom Yum Soup for the first day so I checked on my list to see what restaurant we can dine at for our dinner.
Som Tam Nua is so strongly recommended by the local if you want to try their authentic food. Somtum is also means papaya salad so their signature dish is none other but Papaya Salad! The whole menu was half filled with different kind of Papaya salad but unfortunately, we didn't order any of it because both of us are not a fans of Papaya. Our main purpose is to have TOM YUM SOUP!
Although it sells authentic food, in the shop itself, they collaborated with another vendor and therefore you can find smoothies, coffee and milk shake here. When I flipped through on the menu, I saw different kind of pastries and cakes and the price was so reasonable.
So this are what we ordered. They did not have the real milky red of Tom Yum Soup but the staff recommended us to try on tom saap kraduk moo, a sour Isaan soup filled with meaty pork bones. It was nice and sour as it should be, quite spicy, and the bones had plenty of tender pork still on them. Very good for appetizer!
Well well, don't say I never introduce! Go for their fried chicken, a dish that every table will never failed to order. Just eat till our heart contents! Worry about the extra calories when we get back home. The marination was bleached perfectly and its crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Perfectly goes well with a beer.
Boyfriend and I had to order their delicious Fried Thai rice flour noodles. We thought that it was Phad Thai but nope, it was fried with fish sauce and has a lovely wok hei. Topped with fried fish skin and pork floss!
If you are in Siam and looking for good Thai authentic food, Som Tam Nua is a good choice. It’s always packed full of local people and tourist from Singapore.

OH MY GOD!!! Do you see what I see? HAHAHA. We managed to find Hello Kitty cafe which was so hyped out at bangkok as it was newly opened last year. It was a random found as I had done my research that this Hello Kitty was situated at Siam area, to be exact at Siam one shopping centre. It wasn't difficult to locate as the open space area and exterior design they have will definitely caught one attention. Who will resist on PINK colour which was so vibrant and bright from far!
To clarify that I am not a Hello Kitty fans now but when I was young, my mum made the effort to queue up for the MACS Hello Kitty puppet for me knowing that I love it and I had a whole collection of different type of Hello Kitty wedding gowns from different countries. But till now, my mum accidentally threw all the puppets away. I guess its time for me to grow up!
Anyway back to topic, we stepped in to the Hello Kitty cafe and I was awed by the interior. WHY so beautiful!!! Everything and Everywhere is pasted with Hello Kitty face.
Here's our sweet treats from Boyfriend and I. Kinda regret that we had a heavy dinner so we only choose a piece of chocolate cake and a cup of strawberry smoothies. What I love about the chocolate cake: they have 3 different layers of different texture. First layer was the brownies, second was the cheese cake and lastly, the third last was the chocolate granche. Ultra sweet but savoury!
This cafe here is huge! It was divided into 3 different storey, with the ground floor that we sat at, we proceed on to tour around their 3rd storey. Third storey was much more spacious and could accommodate to more than 20 people. You may want to host a birthday party here if you are financially alright. Im pretty sure it could be the best birthday party ever.
Thanks to the staff for snapping these couple photos. To also mentioned that "love is all around'. I also believe that. Love is everywhere around you, even a small gratitude could make oneself happy and contented just like when boyfriend holds my hand whenever we are crossing the road. This small little act has already melt my heart.
And lastly, we proceed down to their basement and Hello Kitty merchandise are found here. If you want to get some souvenirs for your relatives/ friends who are a great fan of Hello Kitty, you may want to get it from here as they sell limited edition items that you wouldn't be able to get it from outside. However, do note that the price can be expensive so don't expect to bring back alot of items home.
It was a good venture around, to all the hello kitty fans who adore this cute little cat, you will definitely scream your heart out when you step in into the shop but be kind not to alarm the staffs with your high-pitch voice.
